Chouliarades Stadium
Spectators: 149 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Thymios Kandarakis took the kick off in the first half of the match. Anastasios Papagiannis took the ball and in the 3 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Theocharis Zouvelekis. Theocharis Zouvelekis dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. If Giannis Miliokas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 14th minute, Thymios Kandarakis ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Theocharis Zouvelekis was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After 21 minutes, Nikos Konstantinou mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Chouliarades and the The Undertaker players grew even worse after the yellow card. Nikos Konstantinou kicked well hit freekick during the 21st minute of the match. In the 22nd match minute, Chouliarades was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Makis Giatrakis to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 23 minutes, Themos Serifis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. The Undertaker's supporters crossed their fingers, but Themos Serifis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 25 minutes into the match, Panos Zacharas had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Theocharis Zouvelekis. Chouliarades's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Panos Zacharas was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. After 28 minutes of play, The Undertaker's Akis Tzanetakos made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Theocharis Zouvelekis was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 34th minute Thymios Kandarakis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Theocharis Zouvelekis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Chouliarades booed when The Undertaker was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 36 match minutes in a wonderful position. Panos Zacharas didn't get a good kick on the ball. 40 minutes into the match, Thymios Kandarakis notched a goal, 0-5, to the right of Chouliarades's Theocharis Zouvelekis. Theocharis Zouvelekis was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Giannis Miliokas to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Giannis Miliokas in the 53rd minute of play forced The Undertaker's goalkeeper Michalis Bellos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Undertaker's Michalis Bellos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Miltos Seletopoulos in the 55th minute of play. In the 57th minute, The Undertaker's Thymios Kandarakis dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 0-6. Theocharis Zouvelekis was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Anastasios Papagiannis capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Anastasios Papagiannis really showed his touch with that goal: 0-7. Thymios Kandarakis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Theocharis Zouvelekis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Theocharis Zouvelekis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Anastasios Papagiannis in the 74th minute of the match. Theocharis Zouvelekis didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Thymios Kandarakis went, in the 77th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-8 was the resulting score. Thymios Kandarakis scored 0-9 in the 80th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Theocharis Zouvelekis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The audience thought a goal was coming when Thymios Kandarakis got free with Theocharis Zouvelekis in the 87th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Giannis Miliokas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Michalis Bellos having to interfere.
